When a Nine-Year-Old's Dream Defied Reality

00:00

What do you do when your dream job doesn't exist in your country? Most people would pivot. Chris Hadfield doubled down. At nine years old, watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon from his family's farm in Ontario, Hadfield decided he'd become an astronaut-despite Canada having no space program. The odds weren't just long; they were nonexistent. Yet this impossible dream became the lens through which he made every subsequent decision: studying engineering, becoming a fighter pilot, mastering Russian. By the time Canada finally created a space program and selected him from 5,330 applicants, he'd already built a remarkable career. The genius wasn't in achieving the goal-it was in asking a different question entirely. Not "Will I become an astronaut?" but "How can I live like an astronaut today?" This reframe transforms failure-proof dreams into meaningful daily practice, creating value regardless of outcome.
